Question

I want to test a delete methode.
The delete methode is called in a mocked service (not mocked with moq).

The service manages a list of objects. The class of the objects is derived from a base class overriding equals().

 public override bool Equals(object obj) {
        if (obj == null || GetType() != obj.GetType()) {
            return false;
        }

        BaseClass testObj = (BaseClass)obj;
        return BusinessId.Equals(testObj.BusinessId);

    }

When I call

 serive.GetAll().Contains(objectInList);

I get false.

The Equals method in the base class is not called.
The objects in the list are mocked with moq.

 Mock<TypeOfObject> objectMock = new Mock<TypeOfObject>();
 objectMock.SetupGet(pf => pf.BusinessId).Returns(guid);
 return objectMock.Object;

How do I have to setup the mock that the Equals-Methode of the base class is called and the Contains-method returns true?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can make the mock to call your Equals method by settings Mock.CallBase property to true, e.g.:

Mock<TypeOfObject> objectMock = new Mock<TypeOfObject>();
objectMock.SetupGet(pf => pf.BusinessId).Returns(guid);
objectMock.CallBase = true;
return objectMock.Object;
